City that we all loved. And there were avid gardners and nature lovers and i have a background in the arts. So, what followed was what inspired me, anyway, was two things. The wonderful [speaker not understood] in the presidio. And in new york, if youve been to the jaialai, you know these are two projects that have brought artful interventions to lots of people in an urban setting. So, i love that idea. So, that led me to Phil Ginsberg who is very enthusiastic and he arranged the tour for me to look around all their wonderful sites. And it was kesar triangle that really took my heart. So, there was something about it, its kind of under loved and a little scrappy, didnt seem to interrupt any activities that were going on. What i really love was that you could not only experience maybe something artful on the ground, but it is as well when you drive by, maybe there was some way you could catch peoples imagination. ~ as well when your ....
Department of public works to establish a new crosswalk there across kesar drive. Presently the existing crosswalk is at the left there. People have to cross into an island and wait at an island and cross to get to the childrens playground. So, we did manage to secure an assurance from the department of public works that they would establish a new crosswalk there with crossing lights to make a direct link into the park. And our plan consists of increased planting at the edge at the southern edge to kind of shield the parked cars from view and reestablish the meadow as a form. There are a few new trees that will be planted in the park. There are new entry areas that will have kiosks. Trash cans and features of the park that will kind of locate people where they are and direct them into the area. We had located along the pathway several locations for benches that will allow people to sit and enjoy the park while weve maintained the openness of the space. You can see in the plan the kind ....

This is an example actually of an art project that the Arts Commission considered more landscaping rather than art. So, this was not one that they thought the need to review or approve, but i did want to share it with you today just to show you some of the beautiful ways that artists can install some natural art that sort of is there for people to enjoy and then kind of blends in with the current grass. This is an idea to add some color and beauty to the discus cage while it is not being used. This is an anonymous artist who may be able to decorate the cage. And as i mentioned, the friend of kesar triangle have had numerous picnics and social gatherings at the triangle and they plan to continue doing so. The mou be ....
The high traffic areas nearby as well as from the parked cars that are there on lincoln. Another great thing about this project is its being privately funded so, theres not actually any Public Resources that need to go into this project. Thanks to the generosity of the Crane Foundation. And, so, this is a great opportunity to accept a wonderful gift from them for the city. So, we urge your support for the project and look forward to working with you on it. Thanks very much. Thank you. [speaker not understood]. Hello, im carla crane. Im the founder and funder, and i just thought you might want to know a little history how this all came to pass.
